Excursion to Greifswald 2016
From September 5-7, 2016, Prof. Dr. Uwe Czarnetzki (Experimental Physics V) and eleven students went on a field trip to the INP (Dr. Torsten Gerling) and the MPI (Prof. Robert Wolf) in Greifswald.
On Tuesday morning, there was a lecture by Dr. Ronny Brandenburg at the INP, in which he generally introduced the INP and its research directions. This was followed by a guided tour of the laboratories (including spectroscopy, coating, plasma medicine) with a discussion with PhD students and scientists at posters as a conclusion. Tuesday afternoon at the MPI Prof. Robert Wolf gave a lecture and introduced the MPI-IPP and its research directions, gave an introduction to controlled nuclear fusion and even a guided tour at Wendelstein (for the group the magnetic field was shut down in the meantime to allow such a tour!), a guided tour at the microwave heating, gyratrons and beamlines and a discussion with Prof. Wolf.
The evening ended with a dinner in the city center and a cozy evening at the bar of the youth hostel.
Start of the lecture series Alles Plasma with Dr. Christian Maszl "Plasma to go".
The new lecture series "Alles Plasma!" started at the event center "BlueSquare" of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Moderated by Jun.-Prof. Jan Benedikt, researchers from the Research Department Plasma present current research to the interested public.
Dr. Christian Maszl started the series with his lecture "Plasma to go". In a humorous way, the audience was taken on a tour through the world of plasmas. In passing, people learned where we encounter plasmas more or less hidden in everyday life.
Imagefilm des SFB-TR 87
The SFB-TR87 is concerned with research into the synthesis of nanostructured functional layers using high-performance plasmas. The goal is to find a knowledge-based approach that covers the whole chain from energy supply to plasma properties to material and to understand the dependencies in detail. The SFB-TR87 has now released its first image film to give more insight into how it works. Dr. Christian Maszl was involved in writing the script and explains his contribution to the SFB in the video.
Dr. Simon Hübner "Plasmas in the Atmosphere".
Plasmas are natural phenomena that have always held a great fascination for people. Be it the dreaded lightning, mysterious auroras or the warming sun, Dr. Simon Hübner presented many interesting backgrounds and details in his public lecture "Plasmas in the Armosphere". After the lecture there was a lively discussion and many questions were asked.
